i think people have their storms mixed up..I thought the one on sat. has no shot at delivering? and we were watching the wave after that one.

most of us are, but the weenies got all excited cuz the gfs came up with a BS solution that even its ensembles dont agree with.

It's because the models keep changing their solutions. The Friday storm has become Saturday storm on the 12z GFS again, because the cut-off low ejects out the the SW slower, and misses the first phase on Friday. But then tries phase again s/w trough digging into Great Lakes on Saturday.

12z GFS ensemble individual members seem to be on the same page as the operational as far as timing of the ejecting shortwave

The 12z GGEM and UKMET don't agree though. They have cut-off coming out early and phasing with the s/w trough on Friday.

Yeah the Euro doesn't either. Probably better that way since it's highly unlikely we get any frozen precipitation out of that set up.

UKMO is out on ewall now long range. Helps to loop it. I def. think that thing has its act together when its passing by. Yeah, its in and out, but to see it that strong over the gulf of maine has to mean its more than a strung out POS when it goes east of us.

Thanks for the update. Yes, I probably went a little crazy with my original post, but who knows, the UMKET definitely looks interesting to say the least.

The whole set up seems a bit confusing with which storm develops how much, although IMO, we're looking at a big Thursday night/Friday storm and a smaller Sunday storm. The trend on the models has been to phase the cutoff low on Thursday night, resulting in a larger storm, either cutting through the NW parts of the Northeast or further southeast, but still resulting in a warmer solution. The positive to this is that colder air comes in behind that storm and when the next trough comes through on Sunday, there is already some cold air in place. There's not a lot of cold air, but more than what we would've had if the storm came through on Saturday instead. If the cutoff does phase on Thursday night, the Sunday storm has a risk of going too far east, while bringing scattered snow showers to the area, although if it was to be on Saturday, the risk is that it could easily cut to the west of the area and/or end up too warm.

The 12z UKMET intensifies Sunday's storm much more, although from what it looks like on the hour 120 and 144 maps, it appears that it develops a bit too late and is too close to the coast. Its scenario is probably too extreme, but it does show that Sunday holds some potential, not a lot of it but that the possibility for something slightly more interesting exists.

Trials, were literally like hours away as far as timing to have this storm become signifigant/major for the northeast its getting there not quite there yet though but you gotta be excited about it

I wouldn't get too excited...
